James Lawless joined Laura in KFM this morning to discuss recent developments at Naas Community College. James has called on the Minister for Education to ensure once the tender comes back to his Department that the new building progresses swiftly. You can listen to the interview below.
Local Fianna Fáil Representatives have welcomed the announcement that four new classrooms will be provided at Newtown National School.
James Lawless TD commented “A number of weeks ago I had pleasure of visiting Newtown National School with local Cllr Paul Ward. Meeting with teaching staff it was very clear that the school had reached full capacity and urgently required additional classrooms. Having raised this with the Minister for Education in the Dáil I am delighted to confirm that four new classrooms will be provided for the school. I look forward to continuing to work with the school to aide their development and advocate for the teachers and students in Newtown.”
Frank O’Rourke TD has arranged a meeting with the Minister for Education, Richard Bruton TD, his officials, and Kildare County Council to press for permanent school buildings for Celbridge.
“In recent years, we are seeing the requirement for school accommodation grow in Celbridge. At the moment, we have temporary school accommodation for both St Patricks Primary School and Celbridge Community School. We need to put in place a plan to provide permanent school accommodation for both schools.”
“There is no good business case to have temporary accommodation as our school buildings. Our children and teachers deserve permanent structures, with supporting facilities, to cater for the long-term requirement of Celbridge.” Continue reading “Meeting arranged with Minister about School Buildings For Celbridge”
